Wrestlemania In The Ring

March 27, 2008

Fourth in a series of WrestleMania 24 match previews

BUNNYMANIA LUMBERJACK MATCH

This one pits WWE women's champion "The Glamazon" Beth Phoenix and Melina Perez vs. Maria Kanellis and Ashley Massaro, who is subbing for Candice Michelle after she re-broke her clavicle this week. How does "BunnyMania" fit in? Kanellis is in this month's issue of Playboy, while Massaro (and Michelle) also appeared in the magazine. What makes it a lumberjack match? The rest of the WWE Divas will be surrounding the ring to throw them back in if they try to escape.

Our pick? The Glamazon's team wins after a few brawls outside the ring.

SMACKDOWN VS. RAW MATCH

Umaga and Batista battle for brand supremacy in this one with "The Samoan Bulldozer" representing Raw and Batista representing Smackdown. Each was in much higher-profile matches last year -- Umaga in the McMahon-Trump hair vs. hair match and "The Animal" defending the world heavyweight title -- so look for them to try and steal the show.
